Rusty But Trusty
Japanese Coupes – 1974 Toyota Celica 18RG and 1972 Mazda 1200
Recently, the niche Japanese cars that were interesting oddball remnants from a time when their manufacturers were still finding their way in foreign (to them) markets have skyrocketed in price, such that even some projects are no longer affordable to the average enthusiast on a budget (here’s looking at you, Mazda RX series cars). And that’s really a shame, because the Japanese did produce some interesting and sometimes very weird cars. While the Toyota Celica was not particularly weird, it was an attractive little coupe that had some interesting features. Moreover, through attrition they’ve become quite ...

The Celica was Toyota’s version of the Mustang — an ...

Hollywood Races Toyota Celicas On The Mean Streets Of Long Beach, California-And Everyone Is Still Alive
Growing up on the corner of 25th and Elm inside Long Beach’s super-shady, super-seedy district, I became accustomed to several idiosyncrasies that only cities like the LBC can provide-ghetto birds hovering overhead almost every hour, random gunshots waking up entire neighborhoods, and genuine Crips doing the real C-walk. As a matter of fact, there are only a few selling points to convince anyone to move to Strong Beach. Yes, a Snoop Dogg encounter is likely, but the Doggfather doesn’t really live in Long Beach. In ...

FULL REVIEW: Toyota Celica ZR VVTL-i 2ZZ-GE (00-05)
Overview
TOYOTA’S Celica has moved up from hairdresser’s car to hair-raiser.
While previous generations typically offered more show than go, the new model is a firecracker.
Complementing the cracking 140kW powerplant is a taut chassis that delivers superb levels of grip and handling.
But there’s a catch: Celica only delivers the goods in six-speed manual form.
Make: Toyota
Toyota has messed with the Celica since day one, resulting in the hairdresser image even though some models have been anything but.

Clarkson Review On The Gen 7 Celica

Quote : I think all of us assume that evolution is a long, drawn-out affair and that it took many years for the brontosaurus to mutate into the peregrine falcon, and for the penguin to lose its power of flight. But new evidence from. well, me actually, suggests that evolution in fact moves at what might fairly be termed a “right old lick”.
For instance, if you or I were to press a doorbell, we would use an index finger. Whereas if someone under the age of 15 pressed the same doorbell, they would use a thumb. This shift has happened because of the text messaging service available on ...

Symptoms: A/C would turn on and then cut out after 5 seconds, and A/C light would blink.
Parts: Revolution Sensor for A/C compressor was all that would have been needed, but as the compressor was making a little noise I decided to replace the whole compressor, which comes with a Revolution Sensor.
Symptoms: A clunking noise could be heard from the rear of the car when changing gears or suddenly accelerating. This seems to be a very common problem, so if you hear a thud or clinking noise from the rear of the car, you could check this first, click here for a diagram of it’s location.
Parts: The Rear Mount for the Rear Diff was changed.
Symptoms: Idle speed would drop when A/C was turned ...

1985 Toyota Celica Supra P-Type
So, I’ve finally gotten my first real car! A few weeks ago my dad and uncle went out to the high desert to look at and buy this car. It is virtually rust-free and runs pretty nicely. There are a few shakes and rattles, but it cruises fairly quietly at 75mph with the undersquare 2.8l straight six purring away under the hood.
Being the intelligent man that I am, I went home over the weekend with the optimistic notion that I would be able to cleanly transfer the title, make sure it mostly worked, and drive cross-country back to school. Unfortunately, the California DMV intervened and made me hop through a number of hoops because the car had previously been ...
